Fireworks are always a highlight of the Eid holiday, and last night residents and tourists across the city came together to celebrate the first day of the Eid Al-Adha in Dubai.

Celebrations kicked-off last night with a host of stunning firework displays across the city, as well as family-friendly arts and crafts workshops hosted by Sheibitna, and special street parades featuring popular characters from IMG Worlds of Adventure.

Elsewhere in the city there is a stellar line-up of events and activities still to come for residents and visitors to enjoy over Eid Al Adha in Dubai, including more mesmerising firework shows on the city's beaches.

Plus there will be special concerts by Bollywood sensation Sunidhi Chauhan at Sheikh Rashid Hall, Dubai World Trade Centre and Yemeni singer Balqees Fathi at Dragon Mart 2 (both on 24 August), as well as fun-filled family entertainment and mall events and promotions.
